Book Review: The Professional Freelancer by Rory Scherer



Book: The Professional Freelancer

Author: Rory Scherer

No. of Pages: 114

Genre: Fiction

Publisher: Self Published using Amazon Digital Services

 

A nice little short novel - in fact, a surprisingly good Novella

The setting was unique and very interesting. The narration style created the right sense of suspense and kept you glued to the pages and made it difficult for you to stop reading until you finished.

The highlight for me was the fact that it was written in first person from the point of view of the protagonist. It's been some time I have read a story in this format and I have always been biased towards it. I kinda like to see the story unfold from an individual's point of view.

Another thing was the attention to detail that Rory has given to the setting and the storyline. I can hardly describe it. You better read this one to know what I am saying.

I enjoyed reading it and would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a short and nice read ...

    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
